YIWZUH

Which side of the plane to sit from Yiwu Airport (Yiwu) to Zhuhai Jinwan Airport (Zhuhai)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior for this route as it offers the iconic aerial perspective of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and the scenic transition from the Fujian mountains to the South China Sea coast.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Wuyi Mountain Range

Aerial views of the lush, mist-covered peaks of Fujian, famous for tea production.

🌊

Fujian Coastline

Glances of the rugged South China Sea coast and the blue waters of the Taiwan Strait.

🚢

Pearl River Estuary

A bustling maritime gateway filled with cargo vessels and the Lingdingyang waters.

🌉

Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge

The world's longest sea-crossing bridge, visible as a massive white ribbon over the ocean.

Book a window seat on the left for the approach into Zhuhai. During landing patterns (runway 23), you will get an unobstructed view of the HZMB bridge. Morning flights are best to keep the sun behind the aircraft, providing clear, high-contrast views of the coastline.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Jinhua-Quzhou Basin

The urban and industrial landscape of central Zhejiang province shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Nanling Mountains

Dense forest-covered terrain as the plane crosses the border into Guangdong province.

🌆

Shenzhen & Dongguan

The incredible density of the Pearl River Delta's urban sprawl visible during descent.

🏢

Zhuhai Cityscape

Views of the coastal skyline, including the iconic Zhuhai Opera House if the flight path allows.

The right side is ideal for those interested in the rapid urbanization of the GBA (Greater Bay Area). Late afternoon flights offer a beautiful sunset over the inland mountains, though the glare can be strong when facing west.
